Forum member minicoop4 has compiled all of the instructions for Jon Palmer’s M-wing into a Powerpoint file so you can download it and build it offline if you wish. He also double-checked the parts list and found two errors:
The instructions page has already been updated.
Thanks minicoop4!
I finished assembling the M-king kits for the goody bag. I also uploaded the parts list and instructions for Jon Palmer’s M-wing Starfighter to the site. There are also instructions and a parts list for the Version 2.0 upgrade if you’re interested. Bothcon attendees take note: no instructions will be provided in the goody bag, you’ll have to get the instructions here.
Jon Palmer introduced the M-wing to the community back in 2003 and since then it’s been reimagined by a few members of the AFOL community. And rather than throw a lot of text at you, I’ll just shut up and put up some linked pictures. Enjoy!
Sometime after Jon Palmer unleashed his M-wing onto the world, he upgraded his original and called it the MXL, pictured above. My jaw dropped when I first saw it. It’s still impressive by today’s standards. No instructions were ever made and unlike some of his other alphabet fighter projects, this was never offered for sale. Fast forward to the beginning of May and I took it upon myself to try reverse engineer the beast.
